The 2019 Trump Presidency Thread

[Derschieber]

Trump Regan and Nixon all RACIST

I doubt it. Saying something related to race, even something insulting, does not mean one is racist. Talk is cheap. We all say stupid things, which do not define us.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

I think Reagan's comments were definitely racist... did you listen to them?

 

[Derschieber]

did you listen to them?

I've heard them.

 

[JGrimez]

Except there being evidence or no evidence is entirely subjective. What you might consider evidence others dismiss, and what you dismiss others consider evidence.

I don't see that as a difference. But say it were.. I don't see why that makes it not hypocritical anyway.

What?? Evidence is not subjective. Is the fact that I wrote this post subjective? No, we have an electronic record. You can see my user name. Funny how electronic records make very good evidence. James Comey told the world live that we have evidence. Now the reasons WHY Clinton was not charged - THAT is subjective. You think that there was no intent - I think Comey's corrupt. But the FACT is we have EVIDENCE of her committing crimes. Many of them.

So allegedly CNN chyron said "faith leaders" but then changed it to "controversial pastor" after this guy refused to badmouth Trump. How obvious is CNN..

Well would ya look at that?

Trump Support Up This Week Among Black Voters

President Trump triggered a media firestorm when he criticized a longtime Democratic congressman’s job performance, saying his Baltimore district is “a rat and rodent infested mess” and “the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States.”

It's almost as if white liberals think they know what's best for black people.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

LOL DON LEMON IS RACIST i love it

thank you JG!

 

[cduggles]

Or it could mean that Rasmussen is known to be a biased and inaccurate poll... talk about cherry picking ?

 

[Captain.Heroin]

It's almost as if white liberals think they know what's best for black people.

LOL THIS IS EXACTLY IT AND YOU GOT IT BRO

[Men]: Let us legislate the vagina
[Heteros]: I know what you gays want and it's marriage equality!
[White Dem Candidates]: I can fix the racial divide!

If you think you're better at race relations than a non-white person you are probably racist and the Dems not sensing how their subconscious racism is coming off "whitey has to swoop in to save others" then they're all going to lose. Definitely.

Making this all into a race issue was fucking terrible. Awful. So many real world issues and the Democrats chose racism.

Russia WANTS US to go through another civil rights movement that lasts 50 years or long enough for them to build a weapon to take us out. We need to get our heads out of the sand.

I love it when you're so proud of how the numbers are slightly less shit this week. :D

 

[Captain.Heroin]

Cduggy you're right quoting that one poll source over is stupid BUT I do think JG had a very fair point, and I WANT TO SEE A DEM ELECTED, like, ffs the non-democrats are trying to help you guys right?

At least I am. I think JG is arguing in good faith after talking to him more in depth even if we have some differences of opinion to say the least but I've learned a modicum of mutual respect and I resist the urge to say nasty things if I disagree haha.

I really think he had a good point with "lol @ white ppl knowing how to fix race issues"... that's got to come off as so comical to people of color. Why do you think half the black community supports Biden? He's a centrist candidate, they remembered the 8 years of relative world peace and slow job gains + health care they got and they trust Biden can return us to that. They're smart. They don't need a black candidate and they don't need "I am going to fix racism" coming out the mouth of some white person. The only way you could fix racism as a white person is if you yourself are racist and cease being racist. You only have volitional control over YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS. The 1st amendment basically assures anyone to the right to racist thoughts, speech, etc. even if it is DISGUSTING to people like me I still defend the constitution because I believe in it and I hope you all do too. There is no fixing it. If you could change the minds of 350 million Americans to "not be racist" then GWB would have done that to garner 100% support for the Iraq war after the media flipped the script. If you could change the minds of 350 million Americans you wouldn't have people in denial about climate change (that it happens at all is irrefutably true; it is happening deal with it). I won't say we're the sole/main cause of it but I DO believe that as well on a personal level, I'm just not going to go into that for now. If you could change the minds of 350 million Americans we would have a rational drug policy instead of a war on people not drugs, and an ongoing indefinite mental health crisis that is largely going unaddressed.

You can't change the minds of everyone. That's laughable at best. Try addressing geopolitical issues with policies and come up with a GOD DAMN TAX PLAN THAT DOESN'T COST AN ARM AND A LEG LIKE TRUMP so you can win PLEASE.....PLEASE stop with the race issues, Democrats, and do what Hillary did. Please? Use logic, facts, science on your side? We can beef up anti-discrimination investigations AFTER the dems get their foot in the door. Now is not the time to play "oh you were against bussing" "HAIR SNIFFER" "[some man did some things]" <-- that Hawaiian bitch defending Assad; that was like 1000x worse than Omar's taken-out-of-context quotes that still rubbed me the wrong way] PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE? Even Omar saying those comments addressing THE ROLLBACK OF CIVIL RIGHTS is WAY MORE SERIOUS than reparations, race issues, "gender income inequality". Like seriously Omar might be a better president than Harris. And I can't believe I'm saying that.

Why is it like 5% of the democrats know there's some serious shit going on, like Insley making climate change his #1 priority and shouting from the roof tops about it? And the other 95% are all playing the race card?

Trump won playing the race(ist) card AND THAT IS LOW OF HIM. WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH - Hillary Rodham Clinton

What the fuck happened to the Democrats? Stop bullying each other like little wanna-be Donald Trumps. Trust me if I ran into any of those dem politicians I'd rip them a new one with words and leave them in tears. They're like "the divisiveness has to stop!" BUT THEY ARE DIVISIVE TO EACH OTHER ON LIVE TELEVISION.

SO much hypocrisy it makes me know I'd be voting for Trump if 3rd party candidates didn't exist.

You are doing the same thing you are complaining about. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

 

[cduggles]

This isn’t really a reply per se, but there are at least some non-white people on the stage with a reasonable chance.

I just want Trump out of office. It’s unlikely but hope springs eternal. He might cross a lot of lines to appeal to his base. Please please!

I’m not a Democrat, btw. I’m probably very considered socially liberal here because I don’t bash the LGBTQ+ community or hate immigrants, which is sad.

And I’m pleased you have bonded with someone and that it pleases you. ?

 

[Captain.Heroin]

You are doing the same thing you are complaining about. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

YEAH BECAUSE SOCIALISTS GOT ELECTED AND NOW THERE'S NO CAKE *badumtiss*

What am I doing?

If any white person had a real plan for race issues IT WOULD BE TO MAKE US REALIZE THERE'S GREATER THINGS AT HAND, and we can chew gum and rub our stomachs at the same time. Race issues shouldn't even be on the damn list of topics and it sure as hell is important but not as important as THE UPCOMING ECOLOGICAL CRISIS, geopolitical issues outside the US, the war on drugs, CRJS reform (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Like if someone holds me at gunpoint while I'm on the phone you better believe I'm going to tell that person "hey....I need to call you back....kbye". PRIORITIZE PEOPLE. Insley was the only one to do it by trying to SAVE PLANET EARTH. Something that would benefit ALL races, RICH AND POOR alike, all over the world and ESPECIALLY BOTH R AND D STATES IN THE US. This SHOULD BE a bipartisan selling line. I don't get it. I don't get why everyone is so concerned about race issues

LOL let's give blacks reparations because they won't be able to afford underwater multi-million dollar loft bubbles which will be the only inhabitable part of earth left to the uber-wealthy anyways! Fuck 'em, right?

Save planet earth. For FUCK sake. "I can solve race issues!" SOLVE THEM BY SOLVING PLANET EARTH and then ALSO tackling race issues the way we've been doing and then some! Don't make race issues your #1 platform goal. It will lose. Trump will win. And I'll laugh at the dems' disgrace and ignorance because I AM SPELLING IT OUT IN PLANE ENGLISH WHAT MUST BE DONE.

I don't get it. You can try to save someone's life like my ex but they're just destined to drink themselves to death. BRB college for all so everyone can get thoroughly educated about how pointless human life will be in a few thousand years! EGGCELENT

This isn’t really a reply per se, but there are at least some non-white people on the stage with a reasonable chance.

Booker: 1% of blacks prefer him.

I forget the # they had for harris but it was like 11 or 16%.

Biden: 50%.

They don't have a chance in hell. "Yeah I inahled *GIGGLES*" years earlier sending people to prison for marijuana

Warren is like the only one with a chance ONLY FOR HER ENERGY. Some of her polices are alright most are far too left for my liking but IT WILL BE HER ENERGY if she is nominated, but it'll probably be Biden which will lead to 4 more years of Trump.

You know I predicted the LA Rams would go to AND LOSE the superbowl in September of last year, right? When this one comes to pass I'll begin to think I'm clairvoyant. 8(

 

[w01fg4ng]

You claim to know the humor of black people, yet refuse to acknowledge their struggles. It's hypocritical.

Medicare for all is and has been the Dems priority, and you didn't even mention it. You are too caught up in denying racism.

If you care so much about the environment, what are you doing about it?

 

[Captain.Heroin]

Their humor? Where did I post humor

I explicitly said racism is obviously an issue. Thanks for missing that part.

 

[w01fg4ng]

Read your quote on my post 1512.

Argue in good faith or GTFO

 

[JGrimez]

Or it could mean that Rasmussen is known to be a biased and inaccurate poll... talk about cherry picking ?

Actually to be fair if we rewind back to 2016 and look at the general election polls, Rasmussen was THE most accurate.

 

[JGrimez]

I love it when you're so proud of how the numbers are slightly less shit this week. :D

You missed the point. Polls rose directly after Trump shone international light on the conditions in B-more and on the corruption that's going on there with mismanagement of funding. The media and liberals cry racist, while black people obviously care more about the issues being discussed.

 

[JGrimez]

Tulsi jabs Trump and exposes the US' continued policy of supporting terrorist groups in the middle east, for the ultimate benefit of Israel (why else would we be supporting the group that attacked us on 9/11?)
